My DT was the same as yours,would power up in 1st and clutch in 2nd and 3rd with a little force, the DRZ was the same, it's all to do with how its geared i guess!

once carried two bags of cement from the diy store on the back of the bike .. the front wheel felt like it was flying and had to rely on leaning to steer lol ...

I still dont know if to get dep xpanny or sell the dep silencer and get full gianelli ... :/

Anyone could tell me how wheeling with a full DEP is?

Calum122 · Guru

A fully gutted standard spanny is better than a DEP.

The DEP is suppose to give you more midrange. It also depends how you've set your bike up. You set the bike up to be all mid range. TBF the RE doesn't rev very high anyway. My struggles to rev higher than 9k revs.

zander · DTR Senior Member

My gutted standard struggles to get higher than ~9k too...

I dont know if I want to get a gianelli either, NorDT is the only one here with gianelli, and it might be different from bike to bike aswell so I'm just afraid I wont get more power :/

Sucks that everyone is like "DEP IS THE BEST , DEP FTW" when gianelli seems to be better... Maybe I should go ask on the german DT forum where everyone has Gianelli xD

top speed is about 130km/h if I bend over the bike

Nathlaad · DTR Legend

bend over the bike, heheeheheheheeheheheheheheheehehehehehe

zander · DTR Senior Member

But do you think dep would have any stronger rpm kick than the original?

Sexual reference naughty owd Zanderzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! you palyed about with the sprocket's? tbh the zaust wont make much a difference

zander · DTR Senior Member

what do you think about gianelli then?

zander · DTR Senior Member

and no I wasnt referring sexually xD

Nathlaad · DTR Legend

Haha, not sure haven't seen one in action, i went for the full arrow!

zander · DTR Senior Member

How was arrow then? I've heard gianelli and arrow are made in the same place

Nathlaad · DTR Legend

I loved it, the build quality was amazing in it, plus the expansion pipe had a sort of copper tinge to it!

zander · DTR Senior Member

On the german forum there was a guy who had tried gianelli, but he said athena was better... Do you think a DEP silencer would fit the athena xpanny??

ToySoldier · DTR Legend

my bike power lifts in first and with a tug second and im a heavy bastard lol

Nathlaad · DTR Legend

More to love tho rossy

1st at 6k with a pinned power valve and if the front comes down hard and I change gear quick enough it bounces back up in 2nd. I can wheelie for a good few metres in second without meaning to lol.

Calum122 · Guru

Mate the DEP is suppose to be more mid range power. Ideal for wheeling.

Yours is the RE Right? Same as mine. The CDI is restricted to fook! Try opening the PV and disconnecting it. Then see what it's like. Guaranteed it's rapid then matey :D

ToySoldier · DTR Legend

pinning the pv does not make it faster all it does is make it **** pulling away then it kicks in and that kick makes it lift and feel powerful but it isent its slower

zander · DTR Senior Member

think I'll be getting the athena exhaust too, hopefully get a little bit more power, and better sound too :D

I could test out pinning the powervalve too, never tried that :P

:\

Toy we're talking about an RE model here. The powervalve retards after like 9k rpm. Retards, shuts. Causing an instant loss of power and the inability to climb any more revs. So by pinning the powervalve open and shutting the servo off you stop it from closing and thus making more use of the higher RPM power range.

Calum122 · Guru

You'll lose bottom end. But to be fair once you're over 6K you'll change gear and still be in the powerband.

But the RE is just terrible with the PV. You need a pre RE CDI if you want to use anything higher than 10K revs. That or pinning the PV.

NorDt · Guru

Calcum thats a load of bull**** ?

I have a dt 125 re, The powervalve worked perfect ?? a 04 mod

Calum122 · Guru

Is it fúck! The PV retards. You can feel it. When the PV is disconnected and opened fully it will climb much higher in the rev range.

Plus I have got an RPM counter on mine and have checked.

Calum122 · Guru

Plus there's the green and black wire you're suppose to earth to 'derestricted' the PV. Not that I noticed any difference. But I'm starting to wonder whether i've done that wrong.
